On the battlefield, he was brilliant, audacious, and unflinchingly courageous, hence the nickname "Stonewall." This man of God was also a church deacon and devoted husband. Your students can meet the real Thomas Jackson as they read the letters he wrote to his wife, Anna, letters that still reflect a model of godly leadership and covenant faithfulness. Includes a list of his maxims.

He called her “my beloved esposa” because Anna was his dearest love on this earth. Ironically, while the great military exploits of General Stonewall Jackson are studied in military schools the world over and his iron will and stern self-discipline have become legendary, little is said about his remarkable marriage. The real Thomas J. Jackson was a humble Christian and loving husband and father. The tender and instructive letters he wrote to his wife Anna are a model of godly leadership and covenantal faithfulness. From their courtship to their final days together, trace the true story of this remarkable couple through the letters of General Jackson to his bride. Even in the midst of the most arduous military campaigns, Stonewall took the time to send home extensive letters of love and devotion. Through all of this, General Jackson proved himself to be a model example for Christian husbands of the twenty-first century, especially through his dedication to living for God’s glory and trusting in His providential care. This special edition book features a foreword by Stephen Lang, the actor who played “Stonewall” Jackson in the feature film, Gods and Generals, possibly the most significant and influential film of the decade to reflect Christian faithfulness and leadership.
